"To the outside world I am an ordinary Broadway actor, but secretly I have powers. All my life, I do this singing, dancing, making Disney covers, and pretending I am someone else, and that when the particle accelerator exploded made me a shapeshifter, I guess."
"I thought you could manipulate people with your songs," Cisco claimed.
"That would be cool. Sorry, I´m just a shapeshifter."
"But you are a legend. You sing like a dream and you´re -" Barry started.
"Stop right here," Blaine interrupted him immediately.
"As you wish. But you have to stop talking about our past."
"Oh, this is interesting," Hartley smirked.
"Okay," Blaine responded to Barry.
"So, you´re saying you were in Central City two years ago, when the accelerator exploded?" Joe asked.
"Right. I was here on tour with my colleagues."
"Harry Potter the Musical. I saw it. You were great," Hartley stated. Caitlin, Iris and Barry nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, guys. You saw it?" Blaine was impressed with Barry. "You´re the best," Blaine smiled wide.
"That´s all great, but how you´re going to stop Zoom? You´ll sing him a catchy song and walk to the sunset hand in hand?" Dr. Wells was impatient.
"Well, I thought my metahuman ability will do the job. As I said to S-Barry, if one Flash is not enough to stop Zoom, what about two of them?" He told them simply. Team Flash looked from one member to another.
"It´s too dangerous. You have a family. You don´t have to do this," Barry didn´t want anyone else to risk their lives.
"We all have a family. And Bas, I have to do this. For them. To protect them. Just like you protect those you care about," they looked into each others´ eyes to see the same flame inside.
"I think you´ve already had a plan to share," Wells made his way back to the point.
"Yes, I have a plan. Zoom is haunting the Flash to see how powerful he is. He wants more speed. So if I pretend that I am the Flash and I am so fast that I can do these speed mirages, not only one but whole bunch of replicants, he won´t doubt that I am the real Flash. Then… Barry can stab him in his back and defeat Zoom."
"Just like that?" Joe asked.
"Just like that," Blaine replied. No one seemed convinced. "Would you like to see me shapeshift?"
"Yes, please," Cisco said.
"No big deal." Blaine shrugged his shoulders. He closed his eyes and in the instant there were two exact same Barrys Allens next to each other. "I also posses his powers from the time we touched. I will not be as fast as Barry, I´m not trained, but because I actually don´t use the Speed Force, Zoom can´t steal my speed. It´s safer for me to fight Zoom than for Barry."
"And the speed mirages. How can you make them?" Barry asked.
"I had a great teacher who told me everything about creating illusions," and in a second, dozen Flashes stood in the room.
"Cool," Cisco breathed out. "Don´t tell me your teacher was Loki."
"I don´t even know who that is."
"It won´t work," Dr. Wells said.
"Harry, are you serious?" Cisco was confused. "I think it´s awesome."
"Dr. Wells is right," Hartley added. "Mr. Anderson´s-"
"That sounds like Matrix. And that makes you Mr. Smith," Cisco interrupted.
"Really, Cisco?" Hartley sighed heavily.
"Another chosen one," Cisco continued. "Neo 2.0."
"I´m fine with Blaine," the actor silenced Cisco.
"Blaine´s powers are based on changing himself and space around him by modulating refraction of light and wavelength. As our scarlet knight should know from basic physics lessons, the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. And this different frequency on Earth-2 makes Blaine´s tricks useless," Hartley explained, he was trying to be nice in the presence of his idol.
"I must say I still see you, Anderson, your true you and none of your illusions," Dr. Wells said clearly.
"I just wanted to help," Blaine apologized.
"Your instinct was right. It seems Dalton still produces smart men," Hartley mentioned. "We´ll only make some changes and it won´t be much of work. We´ll simply make a device that converts your frequency to the frequency used by people from Earth-2."
"Let´s get started," Cisco shouted and scientists made their way to the workshop.
